What People are Saying About This

Robert Barnard

Elegiac, emotionally involving and the ingenuity and superb cluing put Sad Cypress among the very best of Christie's classic titles.

Editorial Reviews

What Agatha Christie taught me was all about the delicate placement of the red herring. She was the ultimate genius behind ‘by indirections shall we find directions out.’” — Elizabeth George, New York Times bestselling author of the Inspector Lynley novels

“Poirot solves another exciting case.” — Daily Mail (London)
